Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz dried spaghetti or ramen noodles (whole wheat preferred for more fiber)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked (frozen is fine)
  • 2 large eggs (soft boiled or poached)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • A handful of fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot with water, bring it to a rolling boil over high heat (about 5 minutes). Add a pinch of salt to flavor the noodles.
  2. Once water boils, gently lower eggs in and boil for 6-7 minutes for a soft center. Remove and place in ice water to stop cooking. If you prefer poached eggs, prepare them separately later.
  3. Add dried noodles to boiling water and cook according to package instructions (usually 7-8 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. In the last 2 minutes of noodle cooking, add frozen edamame to the pot to warm through. Drain noodles and edamame together, reserving 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the cooking water.
  5. While noodles cook, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  6. Return drained noodles and edamame to the pot or a large bowl. Pour sauce over and toss well, adding reserved cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce and coat noodles evenly.
  7. Peel cooled eggs carefully and cut them in half lengthwise.
  8. Divide noodles and edamame between two bowls. Top each with halved eggs, sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if using.
  9. Drizzle a little more toasted sesame oil on top if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Do not overcook the eggs; 6-7 minutes yields a creamy yolk. Reserve some noodle cooking water to loosen the sauce and help it cling to noodles. Toast sesame seeds before using for extra flavor. For gluten-free, swap noodles for rice or shirataki noodles and use tamari instead of soy sauce. Vegan option: skip eggs and use tofu or extra edamame.
